Habibi’s Chicken and Falafel

I have been waiting for MONTHS for a good Shawarma spot to open in Oak Park, quite literally counting down the days until Habibi’s opened. I came here today with my mother who was visiting from out of state, and was AMAZED by the beautiful interior. We ordered chicken shawarma wraps, lentil soup, falafel, and rice—all which were so incredibly delicious. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and the vibe was immaculate. Habibi’s is here to stay!!

The falafel are perfectly crisp outside and tender inside. The garlic smash is smooth and creamy — not heavy or overpowering, but it spreads across your whole tongue with rich garlic flavor. The chicken shawarma bowl was fresh, layered, and balanced. And the homemade green hot sauce? Fire. (Fire good, not burn-your- tongue hot.) So glad I tried this new spot!

SO. GOOD. Chicken was well seasoned & juicy, portion was fantastic especially for the price. Great staff, super friendly. Very clean place. Perfect new spot.

I had a great experience at Habibi Chicken and Falafel. The restaurant keeps the menu simple and focuses on Mediterranean chicken wraps, falafel, and similar items. The food tastes fresh and well seasoned. The chicken wraps are cooked well and packed with flavor. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. The place is clean and organized. Everything comes out quickly and the portions are solid for the price. Overall, Habibi Chicken and Falafel is a great spot if you want simple, good Mediterranean food. The wraps are the highlight and the quality is consistent. I would definitely recommend it if you want a quick and reliable meal.

If you're craving fresh, flavorful food, this spot has you covered. The dishes are always delicious and made with the kind of care you can taste in every bite. Beyond the food, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making your visit feel like a home away from home. The atmosphere is perfect — the music is just the right volume, so you can enjoy a conversation without shouting over the tunes. It's clear this neighborhood has been waiting for a place like this to open, and I sincerely hope they stick around for the long haul. I already miss the food! Highly recommended..
